Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Gatifloxacin for the Treatment of Bacterial Conjunctivitis (NCT NCT00464438)

NCT ID: NCT00464438

Last Updated: 2011-09-21

Results Overview

Percentage of patients that achieved clinical success, defined as a score of 0 for both conjunctival erythema and conjunctival discharge at Day 7. Conjunctival erythema and conjunctival discharge were each assessed on a 4-point severity grade scale (0=none, +1=mild, +2=moderate, +3=severe).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 7

Population: Modified Intent to Treat; defined as all randomized patients who were "culture positive" at baseline meaning the culture of the eye grew bacteria.

Percentage of patients that achieved clinical success, defined as a score of 0 for both conjunctival erythema and conjunctival discharge at Day 7. Conjunctival erythema and conjunctival discharge were each assessed on a 4-point severity grade scale (0=none, +1=mild, +2=moderate, +3=severe).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 7

Population: Modified Intent to Treat; defined as all randomized patients who were "culture positive" at baseline meaning the culture of the eye grew bacteria

Percentage of patients with microbiological improvement, defined such that all bacteria present above threshold at Day 1 (Baseline) are eradicated (absent) or reduced at Day 7 based on a Classification of Microbial Response (Eradication=pathogen is absent in follow-up culture; Reduction=pathogen is reduced from baseline below threshold count in follow-up culture; Persistence=pathogen reduced from baseline but is above or equal to threshold count in follow-up culture; and Proliferation=pathogen has increased in count from baseline in follow-up culture).

Population: Modified Intent to Treat; defined as all randomized patients who were "culture positive" at baseline meaning the culture of the eye grew bacteria

Percentage of patients with at least a 1-grade improvement in ocular signs for lid erythema at Day 7 from Day 1 (Baseline). Lid erythema was assessed on a 4-point severity grade scale (0=none, +1=mild, +2=moderate, +3=severe).
